Destinations
The unique nature of Iceland is the main attraction of the Ice Country. National Parks and Geyser Valley, volcanoes and glaciers, waterfalls and fjords. The tiny capital Reykjavik and tours to the lost islands.
Iceland is the only country in the world where to pay for dinner sometimes has to take a loan. The landscapes here are so far removed from the usual that they make fantastic films without scenery. Climb up the hill and stay in silence, immerse the tired body in the turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon and catch the long-awaited relaxation, try the local herring, feel why it is called “Icelandic gold”, watch the birds and symbols of Iceland… there are a lot of reasons to go to Iceland for the soul and body.
The capital is Reykjavik, the major cities are Kopavogur and Akureyri.
The peak tourist season in Iceland – from mid-June to late August. Every year, the number of visitors increases, so the accommodation should be taken care of in advance. In the off-season, some hotels and guest houses are closed, but those that do work reduce prices. Discounts can reach 40%.
The Icelandic hotel chain, which covers the whole island, mostly offers excellent service and comfortable accommodation. However, hotel accommodation in the country will not be cheap.
The most famous hotel chain is Fosshotel. These are 9 hotels located in different parts of Iceland, close to major cities and popular tourist destinations. The most famous is the Fosshotel Skaftafell, located next to the Skaftafetl National Park.
Another chain is Icelandair, which includes summer-only Edda hotels and upscale Icelandair. The latter are located in major cities of the country and are famous for Scandinavian style in the interior and the offered cuisine. The most famous of these is Nordica in Reykjavik.
Guest houses are widespread in Iceland: a transitional option between reasonably priced hotels and cheap hostels. In addition, it is a great option for those who prefer to travel the whole company – cheaper and more convenient.
This is a popular and perspective destination for agritourism in Iceland, introducing travelers to the island’s traditional way of life, which has changed little over the centuries.
The so-called Icelandic Farm Holidays are the real farms that host guests. Such establishments are subject to mandatory licensing, so this option is convenient and safe. You can stay in a separate lodge (and even a cottage) for guests or rent a room in a farmer’s lodge.
Hostels are very popular in Iceland – there are only 25 of them, located in different parts of the island. Many of them are part of the Hostelling International Iceland network. You can purchase a special membership card that entitles you to discounts for stays longer than 4 days in Iceland and other countries.
You can stay in the campsite to experience the harsh nature of Iceland (and save a lot). There are many of them here, and they provide a different service – from a place under a tent or a wagon with access only to cold water to real camps with hot showers, laundries and kitchen equipment.
The best quality accommodation – hotels. Iceland hotel rates range from EUR 70 to EUR 300 per night, depending on amenities provided. Typically, Scandinavian breakfast is buffet style.
Guest houses, often providing bed & breakfast services, offer a smaller list of services, but are highly valued by entire families or large companies. On average, a room for two will cost 120 EUR. Breakfast is most often included in price.
Perhaps the cheapest accommodation for travelers in Iceland is camping. Depending on whether you are provided with only a tent space or more amenities, such an overnight stay will cost from 7 to 24 EUR.

The first thing that usually begins with planning a trip to Iceland is the need to find, find and buy tickets that are as relevant as possible to your requirements and wishes. There are many important criteria: the carrier must be reliable, the route convenient, the connections (if any) not too long, and the rates not too high. It is the easiest way to get your tickets online by selecting with a couple of clicks the points of departure and destination, the required dates and the class of service.
One of the characteristic features of Iceland’s transport system is the complete absence of railways. But the car communication system is very set up. The only thing that can be alarming is the large number of gravel roads. If you’re planning a trip to Iceland’s natural attractions, you might want to consider a SUV.
Car rent in Iceland is carried out in accordance with international rules. You will be able to get the car for temporary personal use if you have an international driving license, driving experience of at least a year and a credit card. By the way, you should be at least 25 years old, and in the case of renting a premium car and more. Remember that an international driving license does not eliminate the need to carry national driving licenses.
